Figure 1 Depletion of TAMs Increases γH2AX Levels in Response to Taxol Treatment (A) Preclinical trial design for combined CSF-1R inhibition and Taxol treatment in an orthotopic mouse model of breast cancer following mammary fad pad (MFP) injection of the TS1 tumor cell line and subsequent tumor establishment. (B) Plot of tumor volume as a function of time. Treatment groups are vehicle (VEH) 20% Captisol, BLZ945 (BLZ), and Taxol (TAX). Vertical arrow indicates t = 0 when Taxol was administered. The vehicle was administered daily to all animals in the Taxol alone group. (C) Quantification by image analysis of intratumoral CD68+ cells at 24, 48, and 72 hr after Taxol treatment. (D–F) Quantitation of the percentage of (D) γH2AX+, (E) cleaved caspase-3+ (CC3+), and (F) Ki67+ cells within the tumor (left) and representative images of tumor sections (right). Scale bars, 50 μm. n = 5 mice in all treatment groups at all time points. All data are presented as mean ± SEM. (C–F) Data are from whole tumors isolated at the indicated time points according to the trial design in (A). Student’s t test was used to assess significance between treatment groups: ∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p < See also Figure S1.

Figure 2 Macrophages Suppress Genotoxic Stress and Cancer Cell Death
TS1 tumor cells (TCs) were cultured with Taxol and assayed by flow cytometry at the indicated time points. (A–D) Flow cytometric analysis of DNA content (n = 4 independent experiments) (A), phospho-H3 immunoreactivity (n = 3 independent experiments) (B), γH2AX immunoreactivity (n = 3 independent experiments) (C), and phospho-p53 immunoreactivity (n = 3 independent experiments) of the TS1 TC line in response to Taxol treatment (50 nM), and the effects of co-culture with bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) (D). (E) Comparison of the effects of co-culture with MHCII+ BMDMs on Taxol-induced accumulation of tumor cells with sub-2C DNA content and γH2AX immunoreactivity (n = 4 independent experiments). (F) Comparison of the effects of direct cell co-culture versus BMDM-conditioned media (CM) supplemented daily [denoted BMDM-CM(+)] on Taxol-induced accumulation of tumor cells with sub-2C DNA content and γH2AX immunoreactivity (n = 4 independent experiments). (G) Quantification of caspase activation in response to Taxol treatment and the effects of BMDM-CM as measured by western blotting. Representative western blots are shown on the left, and quantification of each caspase is shown on the right (n = 3 independent experiments). All data are presented as mean ± SEM. Student’s t test was used to assess significance between treatment groups: ∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p < See also Figures S2 and S3.

Figure 3 Macrophage-Secreted Factors Reduce the Duration of Taxol-Induced Mitotic Arrest TS1 tumor cells were imaged live with or without co-culture with GFP-expressing BMDMs. (A) Representative images of assays in which cells were imaged by differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy. BMDMs were identified by GFP fluorescence imaging and excluded from mitotic analyses. (B) Montage of individual TS1 cells entering mitosis and exiting by mitotic slippage. Numbers indicate time relative to mitotic entry in minutes. Scale bars, 10 μm. (C) A single representative experiment is plotted measuring the duration of mitotic arrest in TS1 cells treated with Taxol (50 nM) in the presence or absence of BMDMs. In each experiment, at least 30 cells were scored per condition, and this was repeated in three independent experiments. (D) As in (C), except that tumor cells were additionally treated with complete or fractionated macrophage-CM (<3 kDa or >3 kDa fractions). (E) Clonogenic assay measuring the effects of BMDM-CM on inhibition of tumor cell colony formation by Taxol. Representative images are shown on the left, and quantification of crystal violet staining is shown on the right (n = 3 independent experiments). Scale bar, 5 mm. (F) DNA content analysis of tumor cell colonies shown in (E) at day 8 (n = 4 independent experiments). Representative histograms are shown on the left, with quantification of treatment groups on the right. Data for mitotic arrest duration are presented as mean ± interquartile range. All other data are presented as mean ± SEM. Student’s t test was used to assess significance between treatment groups. ∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p < ns, non-significant. See also Figure S4.

Figure 4 Tumor Cell MAPK Signaling Is Critical for Viability following Taxol Treatment (A) Analysis of ERK1/2 signaling in tumor cells in response to treatment with Taxol (50 nM) in the presence or absence of BMDM-CM supplemented daily [denoted BMDM-CM(+)]. Representative western blots are shown. Area under the curve (AUC) quantification of band intensities is displayed in the graph below as a ratio of phosphorylated/total ERK1/2 (n = 3 independent experiments). (B) Flow cytometric analysis of sub-2C DNA content tumor cells in response to Taxol (50 nM) and the MEK inhibitor PD (500 nM). Tumor cells were treated alone or in co-culture with BMDMs (n = 3 independent experiments). (C) Analysis of ERK1/2 signaling and caspase-3 activation in tumor cells following 48 hr of treatment with Taxol (50 nM) in the presence or absence of BMDM-CM(+) and the MEK inhibitor PD (500 nM). Representative western blots are shown. AUC quantification of band intensities is displayed to the right as a ratio of CC3+/GAPDH (n = 3 independent experiments). (D) Clonogenic assay measuring the effects of the MEK1/2 inhibitor PD and BMDM-CM on modulating inhibition of tumor cell colony formation by Taxol. Representative images are shown on the left, and quantification of crystal violet staining is shown on the right (n = 4 independent experiments). Scale bar, 5 mm. (E) Tumor volume plots for the assessment of response to a single dose of Taxol (indicated by vertical dotted line) and acute BLZ945 or PD treatment. See Figure S5E for schematic of trial design. n = 10 mice in all treatment groups. (F) Tumor volume plots for the assessment of response to weekly Taxol treatment (indicated by vertical dotted lines) with concurrent PD or sustained BLZ945 treatment. See Figure S6B for schematic of trial design. n = 10 mice in all treatment groups. All data are presented as mean ± SEM. Student’s t test was used to assess significance between treatment groups: ∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p < See also Figures S5 and S6.
